Instructions
- Begin by patting the Mahi Mahi fillets dry with a paper towel. Season both sides with garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, oregano, chili powder, kosher salt, and ground black pepper. Allow to rest for 10 minutes.
- Heat a cast-iron pan over medium-high heat. Add one tablespoon each of butter and olive oil. Once shimmering, add the fillets in a single layer, cooking for 3-4 minutes until golden brown, then flip and cook for another 3-4 minutes until opaque.
- In a small bowl, combine the mayo, hot sauce, honey, salt, pepper, and lime juice. Whisk until smooth and adjust spice or sweetness as needed.
- Warm the corn tortillas over a gas flame for about 1 minute on each side, or use a grill pan. Keep wrapped in a kitchen towel to maintain heat.
- Slice the cooked Mahi Mahi fillets into bite-sized pieces. Place on warm tortillas, add shredded cabbage, red onion, and drizzle with sauce. Top with cilantro and lime juice, and add mango salsa if desired.
- Serve immediately with lime wedges and tortilla chips on the side.
